 In this lesson, you will learn to:

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical

problems involving rational numbers

Assess the reasonableness of answers using

estimation strategies

Use rational numbers in any forms

SLIDESMANIA.COM
 Recall
➔ Rational Numbers are any numbers
that can be written as a ratio of two
integers.
➔ In other words, any number that can
be written as a fraction where both the
numerator and the denominator are
SLIDESMANIA.COM

integers is a rational number.

 Recall
➔ In Adding Rational Numbers,
◆ If the rational numbers have same
sign, add the numbers then copy the
sign.
◆ If the rational numbers have different
sign, subtract the numbers then copy
SLIDESMANIA.COM

the sign of the bigger number.

 Recall
➔ In Subtracting Rational Numbers,
change the operation into addition,
then change the sign of the subtrahend.

 Recall
➔ In Multiplying and Dividing Rational
Numbers,
+ x + = +
- x - = +
+ x - = -

- x + = -
 Compatible numbers are numbers that
make the calculation easier to do with
mental math.

Estimation is helpful when you don’t need

exact answer or when you want to check
that an answer is reasonable. In a multistep
problem, it might make sense to overestimate

in some steps and underestimate in others.

 Example 1
Manuel earns a Salary of $35, 000 per year. He pays and
income tax rate of 12%. He budgeted his weekly income after
the taxes to be $592.31. Use estimation to confirm that his
budget is reasonable.

 Example 2
Marta uses the expression $92 - 0.15($92) to find the sale
price of an item and gets the answer $78.20. Show how to
find an underestimate and an overestimate to explain why
her answer is reasonable.

 Example 3
A club is planning a banquet. The club spends $60 for each
table of 8 guests (dinner included). The club also spends $46
on decorations, $225 on a DJ, $150 on a photographer, and
$760 for the hall. The club expects about 150 people to attend.
Explain how to estimate the total cost.

 Example 4
Jon is hanging a picture. He wants to center it horizontally
of the wall. The picture is 32 1⁄2 inches long and the wall is
120 3⁄4 inches long. How far from each edge of the wall
should he place the picture?

 Example 5
Alana uses 1 1⁄4 cups of flour for each batch of blueberry
muffins she makes. She has a 5-pound bag of flour that cost
$4.49 and contains seventy- six 1⁄4 cup servings. How many
batches can Alana make if she uses all the flour? How much
does the flour for 1 batch cost?

 Try This
a. Carlos earns a salary of $52,000 per year. He pays an
income tax rate of 18%. Show how to use mental math
to find an underestimate of his daily income after taxes.
Why might an underestimate be helpful?

b. Jon uses 3 3/4 cups of cream for each dozen muffins he

makes. He has 8 cups of cream. Find a reasonable
underestimate for how many muffins he can make.
